Jagged Germany

  After the German army took Cape Breton Island, both the United States and the United Kingdom felt a great threat and began to frantically send additional troops to the Nova Scotia Peninsula and New Brunswick in an attempt to keep the German army out of the North American continent.

  Although the German army captured Newfoundland and Cape Breton Island successively, there was always a strait between them and the North American continent. Even though the strait is only one kilometer wide, it has not really set foot on the North American continent after all.

   When the British army retreated from Cape Breton Island, they blew up the bridge over the Canso Strait. They hoped to make this strait a natural barrier, thereby preventing the German army from approaching the North American continent.

   But unfortunately, such a narrow strait is obviously impossible to withstand the German attack.

  The German Marine Corps has already verified the success of their landing tactics by relying on several previous landing operations. Coupled with the German engineering troops, it is entirely possible to build a pontoon bridge on the Canso Strait within two hours. Therefore, if the German army wants to cross the strait and launch an attack on the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it will be very difficult for the US and British forces to resist it.

  However, there were also differences within the German army regarding the next step. Previously, the German army planned to land on Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island at the same time. However, because the British Air Force and the U.S. Army Air Force invested the main force in order to compete for air supremacy, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Luftwaffe and Navy had to fight with all their strength. Although relying on the continuous support of troops from home, it not only withstood the attacks of the U.S. Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force, but also severely damaged the U.S. and British troops. But this also caused the German army's plan to land on Prince Edward Island to be postponed indefinitely.

   Now, the Germans have captured Cape Breton Island. Therefore, the Marine Corps proposed to land on Prince Edward Island and seize the island to further strengthen the strength of the German army outside the North American continent.

   However, the Army has the opposite opinion. After they took Cape Breton Island, they were only one step away from the North American mainland. As long as you cross the narrow Canso Strait, you can land on the North American continent. There is absolutely no need to waste troops to attack Prince Edward Island.

  The differences between the two sides were finally handed over to Marshal Bromberg, commander of Army Group A and commander of Army Group 1.

  Marshal Bromberg made the final choice after careful consideration and reporting to the General Staff.

   On the night when Cape Breton Island was captured, Marshal Bromberg met with the Marine Corps commander, Admiral Ernst von Busch.

  Although, Marshal Bromberg has a higher rank and is also the supreme commander of the landing in North America. But it is not a system with the Marine Corps after all. What's more, the Marine Corps showed extremely strong combat effectiveness in this battle and made so many great achievements. General Busch's promotion to marshal is just around the corner. Therefore, in front of Admiral Busch, Marshal Bromberg did not put on airs. Especially if a direct attack on the Nova Scotia peninsula is to be launched, the assistance of the Marine Corps is also indispensable. Although the combat effectiveness of the German Army is very strong, the Marine Corps is professional in landing operations.

   "General Busch, after careful consideration, I also feel that there is no need to launch an attack on Prince Edward Island." Marshal Bromberg said.

  Admiral Dashi did not answer.

  Marshal Bromberg knew that he had to convince Admiral Busch.

"After we took Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island is of little use to us. Although the British still have more than 100,000 troops on Prince Edward Island. However, if we succeed in Nova Scotia After landing on the peninsula and sweeping across the Nova Scotia Peninsula in one fell swoop, the British troops stationed on Prince Edward Island will not only pose no threat to us, but will be in trouble. At that time, the only option for the British is to get out of there as soon as possible Withdraw the troops. And we only need to send a small group of troops to the island, and we will be able to take it there." Marshal Bromberg said.

  Admiral Busch nodded, this is indeed a reason.

"In addition, according to the information we have received, the British and Americans are frantically adding troops to the Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick. If time drags on, the British and Americans will There will be more and more troops in the region, which will have a great impact on us. Therefore, we must land on the Nova Scotia peninsula as soon as possible to defeat the British and American troops there." Marshal Bromberg continued.

"But, Marshal, are we really ready? As you said just now, the Americans and the British have heavily stationed troops. At present, apart from the five divisions of the Marine Corps, there are only There are only two Army Group Armies with a total strength of 500,000 troops. What we will face will be more than a million or even more American and British coalition forces." General Ernst von Busch said.

  If it is to attack Prince Edward Island, the strength of the German army is enough to sweep the island and capture here. In turn, it posed a threat to New Brunswick, forcing the US and British coalition forces to deploy heavy troops along the coast of New Brunswick. In this way, the strength of the US and British coalition forces can be restrained.

"General Busch, the 10th Army will arrive in two days. The 25th Army and the 26th Army are also on board at home. Soon, they will arrive in North America. By then, we will have five armies and Five Marine Divisions are to fight this battle. We shall have sufficient forces to defeat the American and British forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, thereby establishing our superiority in this area. In this way, whether we go west Whether to continue to attack the United Kingdom or to attack the United States southward, there is more room for maneuver.” Field Marshal Bromberg said.

  General Busch frowned. If the Army's 10th Army, 25th Army, and 26th Army can arrive in the near future, the German army will not be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. More importantly, the combat effectiveness of the German army is obviously higher than that of the US and British allied forces. In this case, the possibility of the German army defeating the American and British coalition forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be very high. As Marshal Bromberg said, the situation will be more favorable to the German army by then.

   "However, Your Excellency Marshal, the impact of the weather on us will not be small." Admiral Busch reminded.

Marshal Bromberg nodded: "So, before the arrival of spring, our goal is only to capture the Nova Scotia Peninsula and New Brunswick, and use this as the bridgehead for our attack on North America. Then, quietly Waiting for spring to come."
